Description
In the last decade, the number of articles on HCI and health has increased dramatically. We extracted 139 papers on de- pression, anxiety and bipolar health issues from 10 years of SIGCHI conference proceedings. 72 of these were published in the last two years. A systematic analysis of this growing body of literature revealed that most innovation happens in automated diagnosis, and self-tracking, although there are innovative ideas in tangible interfaces. We noted an overem- phasis on data production without consideration of how it leads to fruitful interventions. Moreover, we see a need to pro- mote ethical practices for involvement of people living with affective disorders. Finally, although only 16 studies evaluate technologies in a clinical context, several forms of support and intervention illustrate how rich insights are gained from eval- uations with real patients. Our findings highlight potential for growth in the design space of affective health technologies.
